Business Location: Yoshiwara, Tokyo, Eastern Kingdom
Owner: Setsura Light née Yamaguchi
Image: Link
Blurb: Nestled deep within Yoshiwara is the monumental stadium that houses Tokyo's newly established, premier fight club. It is highly publicized as encouraging of diversity in its staff, patrons, and vendors, welcoming humans, hanyokai, yokai, and everything beyond and in between provided they adhere to the establishment's rules. While members are welcome to use the facility during off hours for approved items, the Kennel guarantees authentic fights between its dogs at prices reflective of the rating of the show and subsequently the time of day with special events hosted every weekend.

Business Location: Uji, Kyoto, Western Kingdom
Owner: Dionysus
Image: Link
Blurb: Found a short hike up a small mountain hillside is the newly built Haemus Mons, however the moss and ivy covered pathway and torii gate would likely make the shrine appear older. The temple itself has a spacious courtyard with a small shrine to provide offerings at, intending to be the focal point of worship. Leaving an offering may provide a worshiper with a small blessing of fortune, though prayers for bigger blessings require pleading to the gods themselves.
The temple itself is a large structure, painted red with black tiling for the roof, with one huge central door. Constructed with magic, the inside of the building is much larger than the outside, built to accommodate the tall forms of the resident gods comfortably, however there is some furniture inside for the human size attendants. The private garden behind the temple is lush with flowers, fruits, and vegetables, but prospective thieves will find it well protected by the serpents and leopards living within the temple grounds.

Business Location: Shinjuku, Tokyo, Eastern Kingdom
Owner: South Italy/Romano
Image: Link
Blurb: Located in Shinjuku and about a stone's throw away from the Golden Gai is Vecchia Roma, the city's first and only restaurant to serve authentic Italian cuisine - or so the owner will tell you (a lot). Despite the proprietor's slightly prickly demeanour (unless you're a beautiful lady that is), the atmosphere is warm, relaxed and welcoming. A trattoria rather than a ristorante, it's a less formal place to eat. Closed on Mondays.

Business Location: Yoshiwara, Tokyo, Eastern Kingdom
Owner: Cordy
Image: Link
Blurb: Yoshiwara's up and coming gothy, spooky nightclub, providing stripteases and other erotic entertainment to its patrons. Some of the staff members are also vampire refugees, and customers can be bitten by them for an extra fee (it's weirdly pleasurable.) Private rooms are available, both for the usual reasons but also where patrons can go in for "a little nibble".

Business Location: Little Edo, Tokyo, Eastern Kingdom
Owner: Gu Xiang
Image: Link
Blurb: Located in Little Edo, not that far from the Kanayama Shrine, is The Fluffy Bunny. A little clinic that caters to refugees and natives alike. This little place uses the medical knowledge of herbs and plants more than that of modern medicine. So, it is the perfect place for those who want something a bit more natural when it comes to medicine. The owner of the establishment is cheerful and bubbly. What she doesn't know her partner and father figure will. She will make sure that everyone leaves the clinic feeling better than when they first showed up.

Students, be they there to learn or to simply have a peaceful place to train, are encouraged to help combat the local crime.

Business Location: Yoshiwara, Tokyo, Eastern Kingdom
Owner: Korollan
Image: Link
Blurb: In the streets of Yoshiwara is a decently sized house that once belonged to a foreigner, with it came a separate sunroom attached only by a small corridor that is finally getting some use. With large windows that allow a lot of natural sunlight, and calm, lavender curtains that can be used for privacy, the sunroom has been transformed into a relaxing, yet sensual spa room complete with a massage bed and a tub that can be used before a massage, should the customer feel they aren't clean enough. Koro can wash them if they should choose, for an extra fee. The room itself reflects Koro's character. Different shades of calm and muted purples, accented with some black. Soothing, yet mysterious.
Clients can choose to have a professional massage that only targets what is generally socially acceptable in a professional spa, should they be too shy for the more intimate experiences or not interested in such things. Then there's the more intimate option in which Koro will also target more forbidden areas, such as the chest, breasts, and inner thighs. Those can get sore, too!
Should they require something even more intimate...the Midnight Service might be more to their liking. And with Koro being an incubus becoming more known, perhaps the rumor that offering your body as payment instead of yen might have some truth to it after all.
Optional: more info will come soon!!!

Blurb: Colloquially known as Brickston's shop or the TSR, this is a Tinker, Salvage, and Repair shop. From watches to toys, weapons to armor, machines to vehicles and anything in-between; if it's broken, Bricks can fix it. And if it's not broken, he'll tell you he can make it better. "I'll repair anything but a broken heart." Rumor has it he'll accept Uki or other drugs as payment if you're short on yen... or want to have a quicker turn around time on your job.

Business Location: Tokyo, Eastern Kingdom
Owner: Daeshim

Blurb: It's not your typical brick and morter business, it's just a bicycle. (Though it looks like it could also be mass of flowers and greenery that have magically grown wheels.) Somewhere in the middle of it you'll find a short, purple-haired fae, pedaling from place to place to deliver, sell, and sometimes even give away bouquets that he's grown and assembled himself. (He also accepts trades in lieu of money, show him something shiny!) Daeshim takes pride in all of his colorful and sweet-smelling creations, though there is a noticeable lack of red flowers.

Business Location: Tenri, Nara, Western Kingdom
Owner: Kaito Nagano
Image: Link
Blurb: Roots appears as a very unassuming wooden door built into the trunk of a gnarled cedar tree. A sign with the titular name is lined with flourescent mushrooms in place of neon lights. By all accounts, it just looks like an old red cedar with a door nailed onto it at the end of a sparse street. However, opening the door reveals an expansive antique shop that's usually staffed by any number of Inu Yokai and far too large to be anything but an application of dimensional magics.
Customers may purchase magical artifacts, have their own artifacts appraised, or commission the shop's tailor, Hinata, to craft them enchanted clothing. Depending on the materials used to sew these clothes, they can be used as magical foci with which to cast spells. The shop's current owner can also be
bullied by Hinatacommissioned to enchant artifacts or purge them of enchantments or hexes (under supervision, as he's still learning). Curses and cursed artifacts will be handled on a case-by-case basis.**Probably.

Business Location: Little Edo, Tokyo, Eastern Kingdom
Owner: Xie Lian
Image: Link
Blurb: Puqi Shrine was a shrine located on a hill in Puqi Village. It was a very small and very rundown shack that gave 'dilapidated' a good name. But the current Puqi Shrine, while still small will be much more well maintained with actual rooms! A bedroom, a room with a bath, a kitchen and, of course, the main room where the shrine will be located. There will be a well on the grounds and a little brook with a wooden bridge.
Optional: The Shrine isn't technically a working shrine, though there will be a table for offerings and incense and Xie Lian will be very welcoming to any who would like to come and offer their prayers to him!

Business Location: Yoshiwara, Tokyo, Eastern Kingdom
Owner: Sylvando
Image: Link
Blurb: It's rather hard to miss Yoshiwara's newest theater, the front colorful enough to stand out even in the already colorful and bustling district. Colorful lights surrounding the marquee are arranged to evoke the image of a circus tent, and the lobby is equally whimsical. Paneled in dark wood and decorated with shiny brass fittings, colorful posters for various shows, and red and gold curtains, everything about it is designed to draw forth smiles and get potential audience members excited to see the show. A concession counter in the lobby also sells various snacks and drinks (at a surprisingly reasonable rate, for a theater), and occasionally other small merchandise like posters and commemorative show programs.
The theater plays host to a variety of shows: plays- musical and otherwise-, Vaudeville-style variety shows, music and dance performances, stage magicians, and- on Friday and Saturday nights- one of several different burlesque shows, for those who want something a bit spicier than standard fare. It's gradually becoming known not just for the quality of its entertainment, but for the fact that it's willing to give just about anyone a chance, on stage or off. This has resulted in it's staff consisting of a rather eclectic group, hailing from a wide variety of locales, species, and walks of life, but as patrons soon discover that's part of its charm. Along with it's fabulous MC, of course.
